General description of the measurement system

1.1 Product description

Accurate, fast and easy to use
SpectroJet revolutionizes automatic measurements of print quality on print control
bars, color wedges and test charts.
Color measurement made easy: The compact measurement device is quickly guided
by hand along the color bar. Tracking wheels on the bottom of the device ensure a se-
cure and straight run. At longer distances the device can be slid along a guiding track.
The measurement data is transferred simultaneously to a PC in order to control the
color quality of the printing press.
All-purpose device
Thanks to the modular concept of SpectroJet it can be used for any printing process
and quality standard. ISO 12647, PSO, Fogra media wedge, Gracol G7™ or any other
standardization method can be applied: SpectroJet will always deliver all relevant mea-
surement data necessary for evaluating high quality prints.
The supplied software TECHKON SpectroConnect displays clearly all measurement
values on the computer screen, which are transferred by SpectroJet via an USB
connection. All measurement values can be exported as well into other applications,
such as Microsoft Excel™ for example. The additionally available software TECHKON
ExPresso is especially suited for the evaluation and documentation of the print quality
according to various quality control methods, e. g. ISO 12647 or Gracol G7™.
ISO compliant measurements
By software command a physical polarizing filter can be inserted which is the pre-
condition for conforming to the print standards. Multiple functions – color densities,
colorimetry, printing contrast, gray balance, dot gain or ink setting recommendations –
SpectroJet is a versatile and valuable tool for achieving highest print quality and
boosting the productivity of a printing press.
